My ancestor William Washington Kelly (b. 1830, GA) left Blount Co., AL around 1871-1873 for AR. I do not know which county he went to but others from Blount Co., AL did go to Yell Co., AR to find work. He died somewhere in AR in 1872 or 1873. Blount Co., AL records indicate he died in AR but there is no exact date or no county listed. In 1873 his widow rented a horse to travel to AR. Was she going to see about her dying/dead husband? In 1877 she or her second husband borrowed $12 in Blount Co., AL to travel "from Little Rock to Dardenelle and return." Why was this second trip to AR made? So far as I know, there were no relatives in AR at this time. Does anyone have information on a William Washington Kelly (Kelley) who might have been in Yell Co. in the early 1870's? Could there be court or land records for him or could he be buried somewhere in the county? All help will be appreciated. Thanks, Luther Kelly
